[ The camera is shaky and focusing on Ikayaki the chicken, who is sitting in a makeshift nest. After a minute, Sorata puts the camera down and tries to shoo her off the nest. She pecks his hand, but for a moment you can see a white flash under her

...Eggs are hatching?

You should make sure the mother keeps the chicks warm in this weather.

[shockinglycool]

I hope that's what it is!

I see. We've been patchin' the barn up, and she's definitely sittin' on the egg...

[dragons_are_ok]

That's good. Would you mind if I come down and see the animals? I lived on a farm back home.

[shockinglycool]

Please do! I've never taken care of animals in my life before this place, so any expert help would be great!

[pilot_princess]

She already had an egg?

Sanji said if you hold a flashlight to it, you can see if there's a chick inside... but he didn't say how long to wait...

[shockinglycool]

She lays one egg a day, but this is the only one she's been sittin' on.

A flashlight, huh?

[pilot_princess]

I meant a baby egg.

Yeah... I wonder if the communicator would work... they're kind of bright.

[shockinglycool]

That's what I figured it is. A baby egg.

I wonder...

[ So he's gonna try. Have a video function. Of a blurry egg up close. Not bright enough. ]

[prodigal_axe]

It's gonna have babies? In this weather?

[shockinglycool]

Looks like it... maybe.

[prodigal_axe]

[Yeah, he's thinking it'll probably die.]

Tch. Maybe you should just take it when it hatches, put it somewhere warmer.

[shockinglycool]

Maybe. But I figured that Ikayaki had instincts or something...

[alyingsmile]

Husband? Do chickens get married?

What kind of names do you want for them?

[shockinglycool]

Why can't they?

No idea!

[skullcracking]

... Don't name them after food.

[audio; japanese]

[shockinglycool]

I see. Any other advice?

[audio; japanese]

[skullcracking]

Um ... maybe try to think of something that fits their personalities?

[shockinglycool]

A rooster and an egg.
